Mexico asks U.S. to extradite alleged weapons smugglers

We're going to get to the bottom of this and we're going to punish whomever is responsible'

Mexico’s government has requested the extradition of six U.S. citizens for weapons trafficking, including three people linked to a botched federal gun-tracking operation, Attorney General Marisela Morales said.

“We’re going to get to the bottom of this and we’re going to punish … whomever is responsible for these (crimes),” Morales told the lower house of Mexico’s Congress in reference to the “Fast and Furious” program, which was run out of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ Phoenix field office in 2009 and 2010.
